Abstract
There is little solid experimental evidence regarding the use of hydrogen formed by water electrolysis (HHO) in internal combustion engines by mixing it with the intake air. This work aims to perform experimental tests on diesel generator set consuming B7 fuel with HHO gas injection in the intake air. The parameters of specific fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and gas temperature were evaluated. The experimental results show that there was a reduction in the specific fuel consumption and increase in the temperature of the exhaust and NOx emissions. The electric current of the electrolytic cell was a parameter used to vary the amount of gas produced by the cell.
